What is the conference like?

This is the first time we're running a CF: G Northern Conference. However, if you'd like to see how exciting last year's conference was, check out #CFGconf16 and read more about this on our webpage here. Last year, around 185 women from the CF:G community came together at Twitter HQ to hear from some incredible speakers in the industry. You can also see some pics and tweets below.

Want to go but are worried about travel costs?

We want as many women from our community across the UK to be able to join, so CF:G will be offering a limited number of travel bursaries of £15 for those whose travel costs on public transport will exceed £10. Please note we can not guarantee that everyone who applies will get one.

​More information about this will be made clear to those who have been offered a place at the conference
